This did not age well. Based on the other two bottles (purchased 2016), I had thought this was going to get better and better with age. While it is not spoiled, it has a strong bitter after-taste. The alcohol comes through strongly, without any pleasant overtones or flavor senses. Its almost like carbonated alcohol with a bit of a wine flavor on top. I'd say this is only going to get worse for anyone still having an unopened bottle.

Nice acid & fruit. "Five Thirteen" is one of my favorites of D & G's wines.

Red cherry and dark berry notes, soft tannins, quite an enjoyable wine to drink now.

Compares well with other vintages for Five Thirteen. Drinking well and should also age well.
